Waterloo, Ontario, Canada International Society for Industrial Ecology Full time
Research Opportunities in Sustainable Development

The International Society for Industrial Ecology is seeking highly qualified researchers to join our team at the University of Waterloo.

We are currently recruiting for two NSERC-funded projects:

The Lumet Project

This project aims to advance knowledge of sustainability standards in metals and minerals value chains. We will use data-intensive sustainability science and metallurgical process modeling to improve value-chain due diligence, responsible sourcing, and carbon accounting.

The Beyond Lithium Project

This project focuses on establishing and optimizing circularity pathways for critical minerals found in electric vehicles' batteries in Canada. We will utilize methods from industrial ecology and environmental engineering, such as material flow analysis, life cycle assessment, and techno-economic feasibility assessment.

Applicants should have a background in Engineering (Chemical, Mining, Metallurgical, Environmental, Industrial), Industrial Ecology, or Environmental Science. Strong analytical and communication skills are essential.

Selected candidates will become members of the Waterloo Industrial Ecology Group, which supports collaborative research and teaching, and addresses challenges of sustainable development in systems of production and consumption.

Please submit a detailed CV, a brief statement of purpose, and writing samples (thesis, publications, etc.) to both or either:
